Goddess Bunny

Sandie Crisp was born on January 13, 1960, She performed as a drag queen during evenings. After Crisp's parents divorced, Crisp lived in various foster homes for disabled children. These homes routinely subjected Crisp to physical and sexual abuse, largely due to Crisp's gender identity and disability. As a teenager Crisp went to live with her mother, coming out as a trans girl aged 14. She made her acting debut as Charlene in the 1986 film Hollywood Vice Squad. She later made an appearance in the music video for "The Dope Show" by Marilyn Manson. Crisp claims she was "paid nothing from the start" for her roles in music videos. Another documentary about Crisp, titled Bunny and made by Hunter Ray Barker, was released in 2019. The film is based in the assisted living facility Crisp resided in during her later years. The Louvre has The Goddess Bunny as Leda (1986), a nude photo of Crisp taken by Joel-Peter Witkin, as part of its permanent collection. == Personal life ==
